Pelican 1750 custom foam

[Savgun]

Not sure if this is the correct spot, but does anyone do foam cutting for the Pelican 1750 case? I am looking for my foam to be precisely cut with an electric wire knife. I am kind of picky with the finished product and I have replacement foam that is a heavy polyethylene foam.

Let me know.
Thanks!

Try a electtric fish fillet knife.

It's not hard at all. Make a hot wire cutter with a doorbell transformer, dimmer switch, fishing leader, and odds and ends. I'm sure you can google it. I made my cutter stationary and moved the foam through it as if it were a sewing machine. Start off with just a little heat and increase as needed. If you put too much you'll burn the transformer. Trace your guns out with a chalk pencil and go at it.

I think the new stuff is all pluck foam isn't it?

I just left it as is in mine. I have to put a little weight on it for the latches to close but the gun isn't going anywhere.

My Pelican Storm is pluck foam like mentioned by Hattrick22. The 1750 still comes with a sheet of foam. I traced my rifle with a piece of tailor's chalk and cut it with my electric filet knife. No jagged edges anywhere on it. I've seen guys use really big serrated knives too

This. Expensive case for multiple weapons. Whatever i feel like stuffing in there that day.

There is a place in Carencro, La. that will cut it precisely...I think they use some type of router. Anyway, the catch is you have to buy a denser piece of foam that the 1750 doesn't come with. I haven't had it done yet, but a friend of mine did, and the results were really nice.

I cut mine for my M21. Used an electric kitchen knife and a sharpie.
